I'd like to simulate the digital 74LVTxx chips with their analog characteristics. Packages like Multisim and OrCad only have the basic models (e.g. 74LS04N).

============= SPICE Model =================
.MODEL 74LSIC04 d_chip ( behaviour= "
+; 74LSIC04 Hex Inverter
+/inputs 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A 6A
+/outputs 1Y 2Y 3Y 4Y 5Y 6Y
+/module INV08
+/inputs A
+/outputs Y
+/table 2
+; A  Y
+  L  H
+  H  L
+/delay 1
+; input output Rise time Fall time
+   A          Y      15n         15n
+/endmodule
+/instance INV08 1A 1Y
+/instance INV08 2A 2Y
+/instance INV08 3A 3Y
+/instance INV08 4A 4Y
+/instance INV08 5A 5Y
+/instance INV08 6A 6Y
+")
============= Model template =================
a%p [%t1A?%t:d%t;1A
+      %t2A?%t:d%t;2A
...
+      %tVCC?%t:d%t;VCC
+      %tGND?%t:d%t;GND] %m

I went to NXP and downloaded the circa 1999 PSpice file holding a family of 74LVP models called lvtps.cir. Trying to import this into Multisim resulted in an unconnected spaghetti network. Editing a similar part with this *.cir in the DB editor led to many, many errors. OrCad has no idea what to do with it. Only Cadence PSpice could "simulate" the lvtps.cir file, but that doesn't help me add a 74LVTxx chip to a schematic.

Question: How to simulate these 74LVTxx models?* Does this cir file need to be flattened by hand?

  • \$\begingroup\$ None looks like SPICE syntax, and the first might resemble LTspice's state machine, if you squint enough. You need SPICE models, that have valid SPICE .subckt or .model. The .model you see there is not one recognizable by SPICE, but it might be by some exotic flavour of it (i.e. custom made). \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I've used the Nexperia logic family models to create my own libraries. I had to do this for each part I needed, so I would say the answer to your 2nd question is "Yes". Are there specific part#'s you need for your application or are you in search for off-the-shelf models for every part in the family? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @SteKulov The 74LVT04 part would absolutely save the day. I didn't sleep last night. Pastebin? :) Do you have tips for the second part of my question? I tried copying subckt parts to the cir, but got lost when the external X parts didn't match anything (e.g. GSOINV --> XPK14_0 --> ??). \$\endgroup\$

I have previously only massaged Philips/NXP/Nexperia logic models from the HCT and LVC families, but took a stab at the LVT since you specifically requested the 74LVT04 in the question comments. It's a little more complicated than the other two, so I might have screwed something up in the process. With that disclaimer...below is the 74LVT04.lib file which simulates a single gate when calling a single instance of 74LVT04. If a 74LVT1G04 existed it would be more equivalent to that (see 74LVC1G04 to see what I'm talking about). The "nominal parameters" from nomps.lib were used. Also note that the package parasitics from lvtpkps.s are not present here.

You can also create a full chip 74LVT04D (SO14) by creating another subcircuit which calls 6 instances of the single gate subcircuit. Below is an example of this (untested). I didn't attempt it, but this is where you should manually add the package parasitics if you need that extra accuracy.

.SUBCKT 74LVT04D IN1 OUT1 IN2 OUT2 IN3 OUT3 GND OUT4 IN4 OUT5 IN5 OUT6 IN6 VCC
X1 IN1 OUT1 VCC GND 74LVT04
X2 IN2 OUT2 VCC GND 74LVT04
X3 IN3 OUT3 VCC GND 74LVT04
X4 IN4 OUT4 VCC GND 74LVT04
X5 IN5 OUT5 VCC GND 74LVT04
X6 IN6 OUT6 VCC GND 74LVT04
.ENDS 74LVT04D

I don't use PSpice because all the cool kidz (yes, with a Z) use LTspice. Therefore, below are some screenshots from LTspice which I took...while wearing my shades of course. I also included the code for the LTspice symbol (74LVT04.asy file) I used.

  • \$\begingroup\$ This works well, actually. The hex 74LVT04D didn't pan out because the model needed 17 pins, so I chained two of the 74LVT04 together. Wonderful. I could even simulate the ringing. Somehow the schematic led to MHz of ringing, and Vpp in the kV, but that is my problem. BTW, how did you know to convert $G_GND and $G_IGND and $G_VCC? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @Drakes Nodes whose names start with $G_ are global nodes, and it just means they are the same whether inside a subcircuit or outside of it -- i.e. they can be accessed from outside their scope. Not using the notation reverts to the usual meaning of "what goes inside, stays inside [the subcircuits]". BTW, "thanks" or similar meaning words are replaced with the check mark beside the answer; optional upvote for what is considered a very good, or better, answer. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Drakes It wasn't straightforward to figure out. I also had to deduce that $G_100 was their internal VDD node. Anyway, I got rid of all the globals because I think it's always important to have the ability to "float" the subcircuit in case you need to put noise sources in line with GND (VSS) and/or VDD. It's more representative of a real world circuit too. Sorry, I made the entire chip subcircuit for 14 pins because that's what the Nexperia datasheet was saying. \$\endgroup\$

74LVT chips are 3.6 V low Ron drivers with 7V output tolerance for bus driver uses only, not ‘04 gates. Correction

They rate these 3.3V chips at -10% or 3.0V using currents of 32 mA or pulse 64mA and provide the Vol, Voh. As these are nonlinear RdsOn’s sensitive to supply voltage, simulation must consider Vdd, and tolerance options of Nom or min or max.

Consider them as 10 Ohm drivers or confirm Vol/Iol at your leisure for your Vdd tolerance.

If you need an '04 gate in 3.6V logic use the standard 74ALVC04 for that matter all 74ALC' family which is like the AtMega ~ 25 Ohms nom @ 3.3V +/-50% but some have tighter tolerances or lower resistance such as Nexperia who are 12.5 Ohms nom at 3V so this value is easy to remember if you understand to read the datasheet and note it rises with lower Vdd voltage and higher temps ( lower Ron when coldest)

VCC = 3.0 V LOW-level output voltage
Io = 18 mA; Vol= 0.23 typ @ 25'C =0.4 V max at max T.
IO = 24 mA; Vol= 0.30 typ @ 25'C =0.55 V max at max T.
Computing Ron or Zol= 230mV/18mA=12.8 Ohms thus for the 2 conditions and 2 temperatures 25, 85'C
Zol [Ω]= 12.8, 12.5 nom @ 25'C and
Zol [Ω} = 16.7, 22.9 Max at 85'C

The other parameter to compare CMOS families and OEMs is the dynamic capacitance.

    \$\begingroup\$ I can recall PIN numbers for 4000 series CMOS from frequent experience mid 70’s but I can’t recall what I had for dinner last week. Repetition makes one look like a genius, which I am not but attention to details on impedance is simply “Ohm’s Law” \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ LVT04P has VCC = 3.0 V; IOH = -20 mA Voh= 2.0 thus 1V drop with 20mA or 50 ohms for the PFET in the high state, worst case. This is by design to minimize shootthru currents \$\endgroup\$
